He was loaded up with ammunition, most significantly the fourth-down play on defense in the second overtime when Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was apparently stopped by Chris Wormley's arm. That gave the Buckeyes another play and it became Curtis Samuel running in for the game-winning touchdown.

"My view on the first down was it was that short," he said, holding his hands apart a few inches.

"That spot," he started. "The graphic displays on the interference penalties, the one not called on us on (U-M receiver) Grant Perry clearly was being hooked before the ball got there. And the previous penalty they called on (U-M safety) Delano Hill, the ball's uncatchable and by the receiver. I'm bitterly disappointed in the officiating. Can't make that any more clear."

That wasn't the end, though.

"Multiple holding penalties let go, multiple false starts, the official on my side is supposed to be watching that," Harbaugh said. "He was concerned about whatever our coaches are in the white or not in the white. Not on the field. Their coaches were on the field, in the huddle at times. I'm bitter."

DE Chris Wormley. Projected round: 2-4. Caught between two positions, teams have seen some pass rush skills from him but he has a defensive tackle's body. There are players his size who have succeeded as an end, but his NFL position may depend on the team and the defense. He might be better outside in a three-man front. Gregory Shamus, Getty Images

He was called for one himself, an unsportsmanlike for throwing his headset and papers to the ground. The explanation on that one really threw him.

"They could have been watching the game rather than being concerned about throwing a hat," Harbaugh said. "Can you throw a hat? Can you throw a script toward your sideline? That's a penalty? I asked him that and he said, it is in basketball. I said, this isn't basketball. He told me that he officiates basketball. I don't know the relevance. He told me it would have been a technical in basketball.
